Fishing

Jordan and Jason are loving the good weather so that they can go fishing. Jordan LOVES to remind Daddy that the last time they went fishing last year that "I caught a fish, Daddy you just caught sticks". Last weekend we took Jordan down to the river to do some early fishing, knowing he probably wouldn't catch anything.

On one of the last casts of the day, Jordan was using Daddy's rod at this point, Jordan reeled it back in and kept saying...... I caught a fish, I caught a fish ..... indeed, there was a fish on the hook but Jordan didn't realize that it was the bait! So, here is Jordan's first catch of 2009.

Jason had the week off and while Jordan was in school, he went to find some areas that they could actually catch fish. We were afraid that Jordan was getting bored not catching anything. So, Friday night I came home to .............

a sink full of crappies!

Remember, we usually don't catch anything so neither of us really know how to fillet fish, so with instruction printed from the internet, Jason goes about filleting his fish.

When Jordan came home, he came bouncing in the door going to tell Daddy something until he saw daddy at the table and his story suddenly became........"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" As the fish sometimes got away and flopped across the table, Jordan's observation was, "I don't think he wants to be cut daddy".

Well, today Jordan and Daddy went to lucky spot and went fishing.

Did Jordan finally get a fish caught???

YES!!!

He even kissed one on the tail, before they put it back in the water.

We have two very happy fishers today.
